Overview

wis2box is a Python reference implementation of a WMO WIS 2.0 node. The project provides a plug and play toolset to ingest, process, and publish weather/climate/water data using standards-based approaches in alignment with the WIS 2.0 principles. In addition, wis2box also provides access to all data in the WIS 2.0 network, from other wis2box instances and global centres.

wis2box is designed to have a low barrier to entry for data providers, providing enabling infrastructure and services for data discovery, access, and visualization.
